Clichés are inevitable.... but.....

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2013)

I will say this for Pacific Rim; it has been the strongest and best Summer, "popcorn" movie thus far. The supposed $180,000,000 budget hasn't paid of yet, which is a shame (possibly because of the lack of star factor or franchise, advertisement effect?)because, as mentioned before; yes the clichés are there and it's rather unoriginal story-wise etc. though I couldn't escape the fact that Pacific Rim was ambitious and if your a fan of "creature features" this ambition was realised, kudo's Del Toro, who better to design creatures to attack a city than the creative mind behind Pans Labyrinth. Not to mention the fact that not only the robots packed a punch but this film also pacts an emotional punch....
